Wanting an expensive, DOHC V8 to appear under the hood of a Corvette again any time soon is like wanting a brain to appear in the head of Scarlett Johansson.

The LT5 was an amazing piece of engineering, but unless market research proves beyond any doubt to GM that folks will hurriedly line up to plunk down deposit checks on a $150K Corvette, it was most likely a once in a lifetime event. In fact, not even "Corvette guys" really care about this issue; it's only the few of us who care about the ZR-1's existence who would ever even have this discussion. Unfortunate, but true. Stingray owners could not care less that it only takes a single camshaft to rocket them to 60mph in under 4 seconds.
